Cumulative facts and circumstances

Explain why the object fits the exception set forth above

This work was illustrated and described in a publication from 1981. It has been on display at the DMA since 1993, except for its loan in 2001 and 2002 to an exhibition at LACMA. This Mimbres bowl has enabled the DMA to show with an actual example the influence of ancient ceramic design (here the motif of repeated stylized feathers) on the work of 20th-century pueblo potters: Plate with radiating feather design, by María Martínez and Popoví Da from the 1960s (DMA accession number 1987.342.FA) and Jar with water serpent and feather motifsI, by Vangie Tafoya, c. 1993 (DMA accession number 1997.47).
